Keanu Reeves has revealed an intriguing detail about his relationship with Winona Ryder: they’ve been “married” for almost 30 years. While the two have never been romantically involved, their bond is unique, and it goes back to the making of Dracula in 1992.
A Wedding on Set
In a surprising twist, Keanu and Winona’s “marriage” occurred during the filming of Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The film’s wedding scene featured a real Romanian priest, and the ceremony was conducted in a church with a full crew. Although it was just a scene for the movie, both Keanu and Winona maintain that it was as real as it gets.
Keanu shared, “Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we’re married, under the eyes of God.” The director himself agreed, stating that the ceremony was “authentic” and noting that, in essence, Keanu and Winona were married as a result of the scene.

The “Real” Marriage
During a 2018 interview promoting Destination Wedding, Winona expressed her belief that their vows in Dracula had convinced God they were married. She said, “I swear to God, I think we’re married in real life.” Both actors feel strongly about the genuine nature of the ceremony, making it an unforgettable experience on set.
